Feedback

Dog photos are most successful when they're engaging, when they show the personality of the dog and make you feel like you're right there with them when you're looking at the photo. For maximum engagement, you just can't go past a doggy head tilt.

The jury is out on exactly why they do it, but it's thought to be in order to hear us better. A change in head and ear position can help them more accurately locate the direction and distance of a sound.

Whatever the reason they do it, it's always something to strive for in your work to take the expression and emotion of your photo to the next level.

This is probably our most adorable set of submissions of Embark 2025 yet!

Challenge Brief

The main aim of this challenge is to capture a doggy head tilt. We’re looking for an engaging expression, showing personality and connection with the camera, so eye contact is preferable. For maximum impact, the eyes should be sharply focused and the image evenly lit.
